That didn't matter once Hitler declared war on the rest of Europe. When it was time to fight back against the Nazis the Germans who opposed them weren't allowed to keep silent. Either they fought openly with the Allies or they risked suffering the fate of many of their fellow Germans. We didn't tolerate their neutrality. It didn't matter that their lives would be in danger if they went against Hitler. All of us were in the same boat. We had to fight, and so did they. Either they were friend or foe. There was no middle ground, which is what over a billion Muslims are trying to claim today. I'll be happy not to tar all Muslims with the same brush when those Muslims give the West the same consideration and stop condemning any and all responses to terrorism that hurt a single Muslim. Every Muslim must decide what he wants to be vis a vis the West: friend or foe. Once they decide, they have to make it known and they must back up that statement with actions. As long as they remain silent, they are the enemy, since they ascribe to the very same belief system that the terrorists do. I don't accept the notion of a Muslim-for-id-purposes-only. Not in this day and age. Either you are or you aren't. If you aren't, you had better be prepared to back up your positions and show your support for the West, even if it means risking your life.
